Hello! I'm a new sailboat owner, my very first, it's a 1992 28' Catalina. I have sailed her a few times, but still getting my feet 'wet' (haha). Looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing funnies from my adventures!

Welcome aboard Joe! I'm sure you'll love your C-27...they are relatively fast,well mannered, and comfortable. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Being fairly new to sailing, I usually defer to others for advie, but once in a while I chip a bit of wisdom I have found. Happy sailing!

Hello, I've a 1980 C27 standard rig which I bought at the end of '08. I only got to sail her a few times before having to haul her out for the winter. Looking forward to spring!

Hi all, I have a 1990 30' Catalina, SRWK, # 5833. I sail out of Tuckerton NJ. Just north of AC.

The point about some yahoo running an extension cord is probably spot on. Crib boards can be replaced, but they are a little spendy. I would try to rscue th old ones before opening the wallet for new ones, myself.

I'll be more than happy to swap woodwork for sewing. I have a pretty long list of canvas projects.

Are there vents in the hatch boards?

Hatch boards are a pretty easy DIY woodworking project. Some people also carry additional boards with screens for ventilation or Lucite for light.

The cover sounds like a very reasonable expedient. I think you can deal with the mildew by washing it periodically.

It would be useful to figure out how the water is getting in and address that directly, which would obviate the need for the cover.

Not to belabor the obvious, but are there any AC breakers on your electrical panel? That would certainly be a clue.

Can you follow the wires from behind one or both outlets?

The big Marinco shore power outlets are a bit expensive. Sometimes Barry Boatowner does something strange like hard-wire in an extension cord to plug into the dock - check the backs of your cockpit lockers for a coil of extension cord with one end disappearing into the boat. If your cockpit lockers open into the space under the cockpit look under there as well. I know of a J/30 with the cord under the galley sink.
